CoverViewer
CoverViewer is an XMMS plugin that displays images related to the files being played. The displayed image can be a copy of the cover of the album you are playing or anything else you want. It creates a personalised skin for itself using the current XMMS skin, and you can control song playing from its interface. It includes a function that can automatically retrieve covers you don't have from the Internet, using file tag information to get the artist and album name.

Changes: Lyrics retrieval functions have been fixed and improved. KDE folder icons can be created by pressing "i" on the desired cover. For now, this function needs ImageMagick's "convert".

Changes: Some memory leaks were cleaned. The software was merge with the "Lyrc" project, so there is now a lyrics mode. Lyrics are automatically retrieved from a server if available, and they can be edited or uploaded if they are not available.

Changes: This version featured some speedups in image loading and a few new options and management features. MP3 tags are now read using id3lib, which increased stability, and annoying crashes were fixed.

Changes: This release mainly has a few bugfixes and some speed improvements when dealing with big images. Images are now searched in both the "album" and "covers" directory, instead of just one at a time.

Changes: This release can auto-hide itself if no cover is available (instead of displaying the "default" image). The "Manage covers" option should appear in the menu more often than in pre1. When using "Cover Management", the size of the images now appears in the main window.

I'm not really familiar with this sys, so it may not be "really well made".
I think it should work with Redhat, and I'm quite sure it won't with Suse
